Overview

Given the scale of typical meter rollouts, consistent installation methodologies form the foundation of productivity for contractors. Standardised installation details for common scenarios enable crews to complete compliant installations quickly and confidently, without ambiguity or delay.

While most installations can follow a defined set of standard designs, exceptions will always occur, for example, where surface treatments, service pipe alterations, or site conditions differ significantly.

Where services cannot be located, installations are complex, or significant private pipe alterations are required, these sites should be captured in a separate workflow for investigation, design, and resolution.

This approach keeps the main installation crews moving efficiently while dedicated resources address “atypical” locations. It balances momentum and quality, ensuring every property ultimately receives a high-quality, fit-for-purpose installation.
